RENTON, Wash. -- During pregame warmups before the Seattle Seahawks' win over the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium last Sunday, receiver DK Metcalf ran to the sideline to greet an acquaintance.

Darrell Utley had made the 180-mile trip to Nashville from his home in Knoxville with his wife and two daughters. Utley had told Metcalf about his family via Zoom meetings, which was the only way the pair had interacted until Sunday.

"They told me 'Merry Christmas' and [were] happy to meet me in person," Metcalf said.
